Back on Prayer
I have been anxious about a bunch of “stuff” lately. A dear friend passed this on. I needed to hear it.
“Before this day is done, you will have another occasion to choose between worry and prayer. Determine now what you will do. Decide now that when the crisis arises you will transform the worry into prayer. If at the end of praying, your emotions are still in turmoil, pray more. By cultivating the discipline of prayer, you will discover the ability to remain clam and quiet. As you wait before the Lord, you’ll find relief from fear’s grip on your spirit.” -Charles Swindoll
The part of remaining quiet may be in the miracle category for me.

Swindoll's observation/practice of prayer is so true. Especially when it comes to thinking about our huge ethnic scope. Every day on campus there is something that comes up that seems to threaten our progress toward the scope. Flake factor, sin, distractions from the Gospel etc. I'm reminded to reach the scope requires persistent prayer. It's truly the only way we're going to even get close to seeing every student hear the Gospel. We need Jesus. We need the power of the Gospel to permeate every aspect of our lives and the lives of our dear students. Pray fervently that the Lord of the harvest would bring laborers into the harvest, and that the gospel would reach the nations on our campuses.
